Traveltrick.info is All About How To Travel When Your'e Not Travelling

Traveling and seeing the world, are one and the same. But organising or thinking about, researching and embarking on your particular 'take on the world' is something few people do well.

Instead they run short, fail to back-up their resources, lose or have vital documents stolen, over pay, spend too much time sleeping on trains instead of looking out of windows. They often 'know' where they are, but it's too foreign to take in. And when they get to where they're going, they miss the very things they'd so like to see. If only they took the time to investigate.

They have to cut trips short, they get homesick, fall foul of their partner, lose their way and have their backpack pinched in the back roads. It's all a mess - travel, for so many people. They fail to take the time to smell the roses as they're too obsessed with what they left behind. And how to 'fix' it when they return home.

Why do people travel so badly? Why do they torment themselves and each other discussing whats happening 'back home', at the office, on the sports oval, in the political scene (local). Why do they stay local but go international? Why not just sit back and watch it on pay tv, where you won't have to fork out big $s and can just eat your own cooking?

Why not forget your home town? Why not just think of the good parts and leave the mundane behind when you make a trip abroad? Why not make it a special time? Why not make it a time to get to know you or me or them? Why not see it for what it really is? An incredibly privileged time that 95% of the world will never have. They're too busy making a few $'s to feed their families instead.

So really what happens at home, or what happens on the road, or what you feel like when you're up at 3am about to get a taxi to another city, and what you ate and whome you met and how you slept (or failed to) don't matter zip, nada, nothing.

It's all a never ending story - oh what a cliche. Its all a long unwinding, dwindling road that expands as we encounter it? It's all a collage of magical events, colours, sounds and, sometimes sensory overload, that we can only try to imagine and interpret and see. See through the haze of disorientation or time warps or rose coloured glasses.

So don't try to capture it too hard for the folks back home. Let them see it for themselves, if they can, before its too late and we've lost it for good. Where will it go, it'll just never be the same; try going back - it changes. You're lucky to find one lampost or shopfront or green field that's still in place.

Traveltrick.info is All About How To Travel Cheaper !

It's all a bit of a con really. The whole travel industry. If you're in the 'know' you can get a cheaper airfare, a better seat on a plane, a better hotel room, a better train seat, a better 'everything'! For less - a lot less.

You just have to know how to go about it. In some ways its travels a state of mind. In other ways it depends purely upon your priorities. In other ways still it comes down to your budget, your instincts and your thirst for a thrill.

Noone can tell you truly how to travel, it's something you do purely in your own way. It can come down to need, it can come down to desire, it can amount to a sacrifice, it can be a giving thing.

Its what's inside you that somehow translates into an experience that is entirely yours. No matter how many photos you take, no matter how many details you toss off in a postcard, no matter how well you stay on track, no matter how far you wander off.

Travel and the need to is your own device for seeing what history and nature intended us to see, hear, smell, explore and navigate.

Travel is so wonderful, yet can be soooo uncomfortable and so unnatural and so briliant. Only travelers of long distances know how it really feels. Independant travelers know. Dependent travelers only get a taste of it through a closed window.

Come to traveltrick.info and we can discuss some more.
